"La conica" Espresso Coffee

An icon of twentieth-century design, in its first form.

With a spare interplay of pure volumes, Aldo Rossi gave Alessi one of its defining objects. This is La conica in the form Rossi first conceived, restored to its original proportions with an elegant, modern presence.

The body is 18/10 stainless steel with a copper bottom; the handle and knob are moulded in light-blue thermoplastic resin. It brews three cups and holds 15 cl. Released as a 2021 special edition within Alessi's 100 Values collection.
